Point being... Many folks are really upset (and justifiably so as far as 2A is concerned) But the HBAR is known to be a better barrel (more accurate) and that is why Colt uses it for their Match Target Rifles.

if PSA would come out with a TARGET or MATCH line of uppers, which happen to be HBAR... it would be a nice line for them. granted the match line won't be 250 for a complete upper.
